Description

1929 Babe Ruth Signed World Series (Chicago) Program. The
mighty power of Connie Mack's 1929 Athletics put the Babe in the
uncharacteristic role of October spectator as the Yankees finished
a stunning eighteen games behind the eventual World Champs.
Illustrating that there were no hard feelings, the Bambino turned
out at the Chicago ballpark where he would call his Shot in three
years' time, signing the center scorecard for a fan who recognized
and approached the game's greatest star. The 10/10 pencil signature
presents marvelously, with the only other writing on the spread
being the words "Home Run" penned in Jimmie Foxx' box score row.
The program remains solid and complete despite a vertical center
fold that does not affect the Ruth autograph. A fine collectible
from one of the final Major League Baseball games, and the most
famous man, of the Roaring Twenties. LOA from PSA/DNA.
